Have you been seeing Ladybugs around and aboutin the garden this Spring?I've encountered quite a few alreadythis year.

Ladybugs, also known as Ladybirds in the UK, Ireland,and Australia are actually not a bug or bird at all.They are however a member of thebeetle family and in most cases a friendto the gardener.They love to feast on aphids and scale insects.
